'''Praetorians''' are champions of the [[Vex]], charged with the task of protecting the legendary [[Vault of Glass]]. Towering above other Vex they have reinforced void shields and use the standard [[Minotaur]] weapon, the [[torch hammer]]. A variation of the Minotaur, they are a serious threat to any [[Guardian]]. Praetorians are first encountered at the beginning of the [[Vault of Glass]]. While [[Guardians]] are raising the spire, they will emerge and attempt to disrupt them from doing so by taking control of the sync plates. They appear again later in the raid once the [[Gatekeeper]] has been reached. They will again, try to stop any [[Guardian]] from holding a sync plate. {{citation needed}}

'''Praetorians''' are champions of the [[Vex]] that can be encountered during the [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]]. They are deadlier and more aggressive variants of the [[Minotaur]], charged with protecting the legendary [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault]].
 
During the [[Wolves' Gambit]] mission, Praetorians variants called [[Headless Praetorian]]s can be found attempting to fight off the Wolves that guard the Vault's entrance.
 
==Gameplay==
Praetorians have reinforced [[Void]] shields and always use the standard Minotaur weapon, the [[Torch Hammer]]. Their primary purpose appears to be to defend and reset [[Sync Plate]]s from non-Vex forces, as Sync Plates activate numerous pieces of Vex technology. Upon capturing the three Sync Plates to construct the [[Spire]] that unseals the Vault's main entrance, Praetorians will spawn relentlessly to stop the Spire's completion. More are encountered while facing the [[Gatekeeper]]s, and will again attempt to reset nearby Sync Plates. In the ''[[Destiny 2]]'' version of the encounter, Praetorians will spawn with Immune Shields that can only be destroyed with the [[Aegis]].
